On Wednesday 27 November, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill banning transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identities.
The bill, known as the Protect All Students Act, applies to Ohio’s public K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities.
It also mandates that Ohio schools cannot have restrooms or locker rooms that are open to all genders unless they are family or single-occupancy facilities. Exceptions to the bill include children under 10 who are being assisted by family members, school employees whose job duties require them to enter all restrooms, or people with disabilities who are being assisted.
In collaboration with The Lantern, we spoke to students at Ohio State University to find out their thoughts on the Bill.
